Mad Minute Word- Sunday, June 30, 2013

June 28th, 2013
Welcome to the world of the Mad Minute Word! It's a place where vocabulary and creativity meet! I have been asked to pick this Sunday's word and have culled my dictionary for a word that will spark your fancy and send you out and about looking for a picture to match it! Here's an explanation, the "rules", and word from previous Mad Minute Words:

The idea of Mad Minute Words is we present a strange (and/or lovely) word to you, and you draw from it as inspiration for your photo... to keep it acceptably mad, we're doing two words a week, one presented on Monday and another on Friday.

Words already used:

1. Spurious
2. Pareidolia
3. Cheiroproclitic
4. Nepenthe
5. zugzwang
6. kalopsia
7. strikhedonian
8. sphallolalia
9. fugue
10. widdershins
11. nihilarian
12. mickle
13. mesonoxian
14. ensorcelled
15. mansuetus
16. lugubrious
17. quizzacious
18. hypnagogic
19. gravigrade
20. mulligrub
21. gallimaufry
22. chatoyant

The word I've chosen for Sunday is: Equipoise
And here's the definition: n. 1) equality in distribution, as of weight or emotional forces; equilibrium. 2) a counter poise; a counterbalance.

Tag your words mmw-equipoise and post them on Sunday, June 30.

And most of all- HAVE FUN!

Sunday is my #365. So, I don't know yet what I'll do. Can't believe I am almost there!!!

Cool word though.

Great word! I took a shot for the last Mad Minute...the one that meant "changing in lustre" but then I had a 365 meet up that day (well, for two days) and those pics took front row...but I love Mad Minute and this word sounds very challenging and inspirational!

@nadaa Congratulations Nada! I just did the blanket notification and certainly would see why something as big as the 365th photo would take center stage! But you never know- the two might blend!! I'm on my way to Michigan for the arrival of grandchild #5, so if my viewing is spotty, I'm sending my well wishes early. I'm hoping you'll stay on so we can meet up again. I had such a nice time! And there's still so much more for us to shoot together! Congratulations again!

@espyetta The mmw has been hard for me because the word is posted before the actual day. I keep forgetting to do them! lol I'd better not forget it this time! I'm on my way to Michigan so I might have to post this one early or late depending on how many examples I see in between now and Sunday as I'll be running after a rather rambunctious 2 year old for the next week. I wonder if two year olds have any equipoise?

@olivetreeann Congratulations on #5. Hope we get to see pictures! So far, I plan on staying on. I have learned so much and feel like I have to much more to learns. I would love to meet up again also when you get back.

@sunshinephoto5 @spirrowshoot @nadaa

Thanks all! It's been a bit crazy for me the last 48 hrs. A tire blew out on my way to MI and then my speedometer broke! But I made it and Micah is wonderful! As soon as I can I'll post a pic and look over the pictures for today. Hope you all had a great week end!

Sorry to hear about the car troubles. Glad you got there safe. Can't wait for the pictures.
